we've had a death in our family president. >> the muck industry opened its

biggest night remembering one of its biggest stars, if not the biggest, whitney houston. i'm bruce johnson. there was anny megsal tribute during tonight's broadcast to the six-time grammy winner whose sudden death stunned the entertainment world just yesterday. [ music ] >> whitney houston sold 170 million albums and songs, and this is jennifer hudson performing one of her biggest hits. while jennifer hudson was very good at this, there is some criticism tonight that perhaps it just wasn't enough. joining me on the set is sonny

from wpgcf m and i've got to ask both of you, sonny, you first, because you had thought that whitney houston was sold short. >> absolutely. jennifer hudson did an amazing job, but we expected more. we wanted mariah carey, we wanted beyonce, christina aguilera. we wanted these great voices to come out and do what they do best, to pay tribute to the voice, and it just didn't happen. >> tommy, would you agree with that? >> yes, totally. i thought the entire show would have found a way to tie whitney in. for the actual tribute, we wanted some more whitney. >> we felt robbed. >> do you think it's because we don't know why she died or how she died, and there's all these questions, or do you think they just didn't have time to change the show around? >> that's the thing. there's a lot of speculation. she has had a sordid past.

tonight was about celebrating the voice and legacy, but it is kind of shrouded with what actually happened. >> you wanted more. >> i wanted more. i needed to see more. we can't just have one person pay tribute to such a great legend and icon. >> new information tonight about the death of whitt anyway houston. police in l.a. have now confirmed that houston was found in a bathtub in her hotel room at the beverly hilton hotel. members of her entourage pulled her out of the tub and tried to resuscitate her. emergency responders took over but were unsuccessful. tmz reports houston may have drowned. the entertainment site says police found a number of bottles containing prescription medications in her room. police are saying there are no signs of criminal activity, and it may be weeks after an autopsy before they have an exact cause of death. whitney houston's daughter has been released from a los angeles hospital tonight after being rushed there this morning. a source close to the family

says bobbi kristina brown was treated and released for stress and anxiety. she was taken to the hospital around 10:30 a.m. sunday from the beverly hilton hotel, the exact same hotel where her mother was found dead. whitney houston wasn't the only entertainer remembered tonight. there were tributes to etta james. let's talk about who really stole the show. adele. >> you mean adele? absolutely. the adele win count, six. she swept them. way to go. they should just put a chair on the stage for her to hang out. >> we hadn't heard from her for five months. >> crazy throat surgery. she was not allowed to speak for most of november. she told anderson cooper that she did have an app that she could swear with on her phone. >> let's give a listen. [ music ] >> fresh artist adele, she

brought it, man, she brought it hard. >> and the crowd loved it. >> absolutely. it was her night. honestly, i think adele might have outshined whitney. >> i think you're right. you like kris brown. >> i'm actually happy that kris brown is back after -- well, this is his first time being back since the entire rihanna thing happened three years ago, so we were expecting big things from him. it's his time to shine. did he win best r and b album. some people were kind of like the album wasn't r and b, but he won. >> and what did you hear in the chatter? still some kris brown haters out there? >> of course, and i think that's always going to be, but i think did he a great job. his performance was kind of short, too. >> let's give a listen. [ music ] >> he is the dancer, that's what we love about him, and i think did he a great job.

i thought it was it is a short. i wanted more, but i'm happy for him. >> has he always come across as this humble? he seemed really humble. very short in his speech. >> i think people need to understand that kris brown is and was very young, and it's a learning process. he's been in the industry for a very long time. and he's growing. >> okay. back over. >> i thought was like an atari game. i want to know what the over/under is that he throws a claire in the dressing room. >> katy perry. >> another fresh artist. she got up there, did et, which was great, then she kim out with a song that was, you know, a giant, i think, i'll show you, to her now soon to be ex- husband russell brand. she looked great, sounded great. >> he says he doesn't want her money, he's got his own money. >> exactly. but that was awe.

some. >> nicki minaj. >> you won't even play that song on the radio. >> we just don't. but people are in an uproar. i'm speechless. i thought it was terrible. >> but when you invite her, isn't this what you get? >> i like nicki, but i think she went too far. >> i think what she did was sat in her dressing ram and said, i'll get twice the publicity. >> what should she have done? >> not that. >> you both are drat. we are going to keep you here, too. donnie simpson, good friend, longtime legendary d.j. knew whitney houston personally and professional. armando trull talked to him from his home. ♪ i'm every woman >> i just cried like a baby, man. you know, what's funny, the

for the united negro college fund, and she performed there. this is at the height of whitney houston. >> reporter: simpson says he was blessed to know houston as a person who struggled valiantly to defeat her personal demons. >> she was a very special down to earth woman. >> reporter: i asked simpson if there will ever be another voice like houston. >> i believe there's someone out there watching right now that is truly great that wants to be the next whitney houston, or even beyond whitney houston, and to say that we won't see that again is to give up hope on that persons and why do. that. >> reporter: in washington, armando trull, 9news now. >> donnie and sonny are going to be back later. elsewhere, all this week we're trying to reunite people with money and valuables that are being held in city and state coffers. it could be from old safe- deposit boxes, bank account,

there she is. >> it was like she walked into a volleyball net. >> what about fergie? >> i see fearing gee's underpants on display. >> she was kind of like a take- off of the great pumpkin but a hot version. >> nicki and lady gaga, they go for. that it is what it is. >> we're talk about them. >> that's the thing. we made this happen. ever since lady gaga wore the kermit dress. >> or the meat. >> the meat, absolutely. so we've kind of proven, i think it all started, like j-lo was like the matriarch of ridiculous dresses when she had the cut down to her bellybutton. this whole nicki minaj thing just freaked me out. who ever thought this was okay? >> people on twitter are saying i'm going in on it. come on, it's too much. i don't know what it is.

>> new artist. >> this happened last year when mumford & sons won. and it happened today. i'm sure if you're a u-street person you are all familiar but for the mainstream this is the first we're hearing from them, this band who games from wisconsin wins best new art west an introverted award acceptance speech. kind of just stood there, hunched over. you can also hear in his voice the excitement. he had no idea what was happening. >> but, well, there's so much talent out here, like on the stage. there's a lot ofly talent that's not here tonight. >> would you think that he would have had something prepared, and combed his hair. i'm just saying. >> a lot of people were saying, who is this guy? few let's give a grade to the show. >> i would give it a c plus

plus, like almost c minus, but c plus. >> what was wrong with it? why not an a? >> it can't get an a. absolutely not. i'm sorry, but i did want more for the whitney tribute. sometimes i think the grammys are just not as out there as the american music awards. >> tommy what due think? >> the anticipation was huge. jennifer hudson for the emotion she was feeling got up there and rocked it. a huge night for fresh artists. katy perry, lady gaga, adele, six awards for adele. i give it a solid b. >> they had such an incredible audience that was served. we've got something to give away. >> we do, an ipad. let's see, margaret won it. >> congratulations. >> do she have to come pick it up? >> i thought tommy was going to deliver it. >> we're going to contact her

everything. >> how about the caps? >> caps, definitely not a b. they're just not good on the road. the road just continues to be unkind to the caps. the difference between the home and road record is the largest in the league. fourth at home but 26th on the road. for most of the day's game in the big apple the caps went toe to toe with the rangers but it was missed opportunity that ultimately lost the game. you will hear from the guys on what needs to change. plus, the wizards go into detroit and route the pistons. who saw this coming? not me, that's for sure tcht pistons were on a season best four-game win streak. the wizards were still struggling to put a complete game together, and tonight behind the scoring efforts of mcgee and young, they put in one of their best performances in a long while. georgetown looking to rebound after their loss against syracuse earlier this week but they face another tough big

east opponent. the red storm were able to quay tut hoyas' top player but the rest of the team filled in the blanks. >> we also had other people that were able to step up and make plays. i think that nate's hustle today gave us a lot of energy. >> and tiger and phil paired up again, poised to capture the trophy, but tiger lost any spark he had shown earlier this weekend as mickelson played one of his best rounds. lots of excitement on the greens. highlights coming up. it was his 40th pga tour win. >> looking forward to that. tomorrow morning? >> looks like we still have lots of sunshine is a little milder temperatures in the 40s, but it will be a very cold start in the morning so bundle up for sure. >> got it. you've been warned. get updates any time on-line, wusa9.com. thanks for joining us. have a great week, everybody. good night, bye.
